Crystal Palace secured a spot in the FA Cup fifth round with a commanding win over League Two side Doncaster Rovers.

Daniel Muñoz opened the scoring for the Eagles, capitalizing on a fortunate rebound after Jean-Philippe Mateta’s strike hit the post and deflected off Doncaster’s Billy Sharp.

After the break, midfielder Justin Devenny doubled the lead with a superb lob over goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe, finishing off a precise lofted pass from Will Hughes.

Despite Doncaster’s spirited display—highlighted by Luke Molyneux’s near misses and sharp efforts from Billy Sharp and Owen Bailey—Palace remained in control. Goalkeeper Matt Turner made crucial saves to preserve their advantage.

With the victory, Oliver Glasner’s side advances to face Millwall in the next round, set for the weekend of March 1-2.
